Dakota's legislature seems disposed to
take action relative to the Bismarck
capitol building and there is probable
Ity that that tumble down edlfice will
pass into the possession and custody of
the territory. Early in the session bill
was introduced by southern member
OF the Mitchell court combination pro-
vidinR for the transfer of the capitol
property from the capital commission
to the territorial authorities and this
bill has been reported from the house
committee on territorial affairs by sub
stitute. The substitute provides for
turning the property over to the care OF
board of trustees consisting of the
governor, the secretary and the auditor
of the territory, who shall receipt to
the capital commission fol
the building and the lots and blocks
adjoining. 1t also provided tnai the
Indebtedness of fifty odd thousand dol
lars hanging over the property shall be
paid out of the general territorial fund
The entire proposition involves 8 sur
render on the part of the territory to tht
schemes of the capital spectators
Once accepted, the territory is bound tt
maintain o fast decaying structure locat
ed at the most inaccessible point in Da-
kota. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will be required to put it in servicsblt
shape and satisfy the speculative de
mands OF the boodlers who imposed thi
burden upon an unwilling people. 1
the legislature values its reputation i
will let this job alone.

Te the Voters of YanktOn.
The undersigned, acting under in.
structions from the citizens committee
submit to the electors of Yankton the
following statement of the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the public:
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and intensified
by the evident tad results, in some
recent cases. produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. 1t is be-
lieved that Intelligent men of all imsrties
are unanimous in the opinion that CHAR
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter.
mine the selection of officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct OF
city affairs, of integrity, prudence,
sagaclty and enterprise, qualities which
ara not insured in the individual
aspirant fo2 Office, by the fact
that he has large political following
These considerations are especially for
cible at this time, when our CITY gov
ernment is liable to be called upon tc
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to us all. At such time We
can not afford to assume any risk thai
the important interests of this communi
ty may be committed to hands that are
either feeble or untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risf
by putting in nomination ticket, il
support of which all can unite, ani
which carries upon its face the assurance
OF wise snd public spirited admipistra
tion of public affairs in the ensuing
year.

existence and the policies Of the nations of
Europe create conditions that seem to make
hostilities inevitable. Literally. the whole

4 Springfield friend has sent us a copy
Of the Toledo Journal. with the following
editorial paragraph marked. and as we are
a great admirer of General Comfy, editor
of the Toledo Commercial. We reproduce
it with good degree OF satisfaction:
Now that Governor Foraker has expressed
his unwillingnrss 10 be renominated. the
republican leaders are undoubtedly casting
about for available timber for the next cam
paign. The claims of the northwest, in this
event. are certainly entitled to consideration,
and we take the liberty of making Sugges-
tion TO our republican friends from the
disinterested standpoint Of independent
journalism. Toledo has a citizen whose
native ability. whose wide and varied ex-
perience in public affairs, whose mblem-
ished military record. not to mention a long
career of service for his party, unite TO
make him n man in every way competent to
fill the position.
Mr.. President of the coming republican
state convention, We beg leave 10 submit:
For Governor, James NJ. Comfy, Of Lucas.
But General Comfy does not wish to be
governor, and Governor Foraker will::be re-
nominated by acclamation.

DHIO'S RIICk LAWS REPEALED.

The onward march of right principles is
slow but sure. The last and most stubborn
obstacle TO be overcome is always personal
prejudice but even this finally melts away
before the light of intelligence and in the
warm atmosphere of a humane and vir-
tuous public opinion. At last the black
laws of Ohio. unjustly discriminating be-
tween men of white and black blood, have
been abolished and there is now no author
ity, under Ohio law, as there is none under
Gods law, or in reason or sense, for
maintaining separate schools for colored
children" in Ohio. The RErUELIC has, for
manded that the rights and privileges as to
attendance upon public schools granted 10
white children should be granted also to
children of mixed blood, and that no
determinations Of any kind should
be- made against members of the African
race. Happily, the question involved, Is no
longer purely local, to be decided by men
who are accidently elected to school boards
through the careleSsness of the people, for,
on Wednesday. February 10th. Hon. Il. W.
Arnett's house bill. providing for the aboli-
ton of what are called 1.-THE black laws"
which allowed school boards to herd colored
children by themselves and shut them out
from the superior accommodations afforded
to white children, passed the senate by
vote of - yeas Ia nays. and when signed,
as it will soon be, by the speaker and clerk
of each house. it will be a law.
Senators Ely. Pringle Pugsley. Rannells.
FaSsett and Hardacre, all republicans,
spoke in favor of the bill. and after a two
hours debate the bill passed by vote of
twenty-four yeas to seven nays. Those
who voted yea were Messrs. Cable. Cod
ding. Conrad, Coulter, Grouse, Eggers. Ely.
Fissett. Ford. Glazer, Gregg. Hardacre,

Representative Arnett. the ableSt and
most distinguished black man in Ohio. may
well congratulate himself on the achieve
ment of a personal victory. in behalf of
human rights. which will 20 into the his 7
tory of the State. But this is more than a
personal victory-it is a victory for right /
principles and the passage of this bill |
marks an era in the onward march of free
dom and equality. This action reflects |
great credit on the republican party of
Ohio. vindicating its sincerity and integ-
rity. and il entirely and forever removes a
local question.
